What It's Actually Worth

Blended value of a standard 27 yr, 90k mi example, ~$10.4K now. The green line weighs confirmed auction sales most heavily (the amber dots — what cars actually hammered for), blends in fast-selling "just-missed" listings, and lightly smooths out month-to-month composition noise.

No-lookahead: predictions are made before each auction closes; the scorecard grades confirmed sold auctions only (no-sales excluded). A modeled estimate, not a guarantee.

Lead Indicator Forecast

Some indicators move before this market does. Silver has historically led it by about 5 months — so its recent move implies where prices head next (dashed). The solid green line is actual value through today; the shaded path is what the lead implies.

$9.9K now +5mo 2012-07 $24.2K $6.7K
BECAUSE Silver fell 36%. THEREFORE, given its usual 5-month head start, we lean DOWN — about −5% (≈ −$493) over the next 5 months. Confidence: High (correlation +0.61, 69 months overlap).

Crystal Ball — What Leading Indicators Signal

Distinct from the trend forecast above: this blends all 8 leading indicators (each at its own lead time, de-duplicated so correlated ones don't double-count) into one signal. Leading indicators are collectively signaling higher over the next ~12 months (high conviction — 79% of weighted drivers agree), driven mainly by Silver and 30-Year Mortgage Rate, though Consumer Discretionary ETF (XLY) points the other way.

⚠ The price trend and leading indicators disagree — momentum may be running ahead of the fundamentals.

If You’d Bought in 2012

$100K invested 2012-07 → today (14.0 yrs), this car vs where else you could've put the money. Rebased to 100 at the start; the dashed line is inflation (break-even).

Roughly tracked inflation — flat in real terms. The Dodge Ram (1994-2001) roughly 1.5×'d your money (a real, inflation-adjusted 1.1× gain). It LAGGED the stock market by about 78% — the same money in the S&P 500 would be larger. It trailed housing (-34%). (Price only — a real round-trip also loses ~10–20% to buy/sell fees and carrying costs.)
